I had to watch the video after reading all this commotion.
First pass downright reckless. Dude must have thought he was superman after that, hence the second attempt.
Second pass, even more reckless and he didn't get away with it. I'm surprised camera car didn't leave more room based on first pass (even though he shouldn't have too).
If the passing car who rear ended camera car didn't get a 13/13 we should all revolt and go to NASA/SCCA. That makes me sick based on a racing incident for which I got a 13/13......this was no racing incident. Camera car must be sick as well.
VR, ...was the dude in the Cayman your client, LMAO

There was another SPB that intentionally tried to run me to the grass on inside pass (once I was already alongside him) before the braking zone into the bus stop. This kind of behaviour, like divebombing, isn't acceptable in club racing. I want to be able to take my car, and more importantly self, home at the end of the weekend.

Sheesh! Between you and Yonker (and I respect BOTH your driving), lets let mob rule!
The only people that matter, the Stewards, have ruled.
Guy's now got a target on his back. Case closed.

Agree. If someone did that to me we would be having a very brief discussion afterwards in the pits followed by a hospital visit.

Thx for the kind words Peter. Did you check out Yonker's new ride? Wow.
Dave obviously it wouldn't result in fisticuffs (I witnessed that behaviour at Road Atlanta after a far more innocent oops) but I would be seriously pissed. Wouldn't you? And I would like to go to work on monday without crutches.

Of course I would be pissed. And I would hope the offender would get a 13. But that is where it would end...

I'm not particularly angry with the reckless passing so much as I am with the inconsistency in assigning 13/13s......I would love to know the rationale behind that one....

If anyone had given the Steward the opportunity to review the video, their ruling may have been different. I have heard from one Steward that they have even reversed themselves, based on new video evidence, and reallocated as 13 from driver A to driver B... days after the event. But if no-one shows them video, I guess we can't complain.
I personally think that pass would be awesome in a Pro race but NOT in a club race environment. I think the spirit of the CR events is different and the 13/13 rule is rightfully intended to curb such risk-taking (for everyone's benefit).

Absolutely This. The Steward is nuts to let this go by.
What do you have to do get a 13?
